There’s been some recent documented cases of what seems to be methanol consumption from the booze being served at some of the resorts. I’m too tired right now to find the links but numerous cases of women blacking out on a chaise lounge and waking hours later with no memory of what happened. Or waking up in their room with no idea how they got there with their clothes in disarray and weird scrapes and bruises.
One report that really made me notice was a story of a mother and daughter at one of the resorts. Mom leaves daughter in room. Comes back a while later and she is missing. She flags down a security guard who doesn’t speak English (of course) and they race all over the resort on a golf cart looking for her. By chance the mom has him swing back by the room and she sees two guys dragging the daughter back into the room. Daughter is groggy, barely conscious and doesn’t know what happened to her. It’s obvious the employees at the resort are complicit. The local police don’t give a sh**. and are in the cartel’s pockets.... also, when these people need medical assistance the hotel staff is uncooperative and you have to find your own way to a local hospital where they demand payment in cash.
I believe the cartels are directly involved and the locals are all in on it. Do your own research and I think you’ll see that there may be better places to go other then Mexico this year.

Originally posted by CaptainDave View PostYes, Destin beaches are stellar and I've been many times. Been to the Atlantic side a few times as well.
With that said, Florida (even the Keys) isn't even comparable for Scuba diving to places like Cozumel, Cayman, Belize, Jamaica, etc.
So while the USA does have some good beaches, one can't say that Mexico and the Caribbean, don't have things to offer the USA doesn't. Year-round tropical weather as well.
I would also agree, I-10 East from TX to Florida is brutal. Lots of big-rig traffic most the way, tons of wrecks, etc.

I only have experience on Maui but it has insane beaches, scuba and snorkel, volcanos, GOOD food, year round tropical weather, axis - mouflon- and hog hunting, and is still in the US. Expensive yes but by far the best tropical vacation I’ve been on.

Originally posted by Clay C View PostI think that's what it boils down to. Once you factor in price no where else really compares to the Caribbean side of Mexico. World class diving, fishing, and relaxation for a fraction of what it cost in Florida and Hawaii. I can go down to Xcalak, fish for a week with a guide, dive if I want to and the total trip wouldn't be that much more than what it costs to get to Hawaii.
To answer your question yes I would go and have many times recently. I have a group of about 60 friends and family going Memorial weekend to Playa. The only reason my wife daughter and I are not going is we just got back from another trip throughout the Caribbean.

Yes I would go in a heartbeat, France is a very dangerous place and the people are jerks
Till they want something! Mexico is a walk in the park compaird to some of the places I have been and things seen ( try riding a bus across Libya) the resorts in Mexico are owned by the super wealthy
And I love going all over the countryLast edited by S-3 Ranch; 03-26-2018, 02:46 PM.
